My oven-baked Eggplant Fries recipe is a favorite at my house! These fries are golden, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and have the perfect balance of smoky, slightly sweet, and savory flavors. They’ve quickly become one of my favorite healthy snacks and a fun alternative to regular fries.

Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
Cut eggplant into thin fry like sticks. The thinner they are the crispier they will get.
Optional, you can sprinkle some salt on the cut eggplant and put them in a colander for around 20 minutes. This will draw out some of the moisture and give you a crispier end result. I have skipped this step and still loved them. When done, wipe the eggplant pieces dry.
Put eggplant pieces in a deep bowl and sprinkle with oil or veggie broth, salt, pepper, paprika and maple syrup. Mix to coat.
Place almond flour in another bowl or dish. In small handfuls, put eggplant pieces in bowl and toss to coat well.
Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake for 35-45 minutes, depending on thickness, or until golden brown. Make sure they don't overlap to assure the most crispy result. Start checking at 25 minutes as ovens can vary and it also depends on the size of your pieces!
Serve with your favorite dip.
